about

A dramatic call to not only behave with inclusivity in mind but to also make ourselves aware of our common, unconscious transgressions against the oppressed.

lyrics

Romanticized gender roles
Reinforced by these picture shows
Fuck our kids and we can't control
And they don't even know

Then they're programmed like you and me
Packed in one possibility
"This is what you are meant to be"
Oh it's all their minds can see now

Then the gays become novelty
The bisexuals caught between
Or maybe they're just too horny
Or want to challenge society

Maybe you ought to read a book
Something besides the Pentateuch
Eat some shit that you'd never cook
Oh it's worth it to take a look

I'm not sure which toys I would have preferred
In an untainted world
And I don't know how much we control
But I, I wasn't born for this role
So let us try to recognize our crimes

A man on Nashville radio
Claims we've gotten out of control
PC culture and gun-free zones
Call of Duty and Game of Thrones

Well I'm sorry sir, you don't see
That's all quite contradictory
Game of Thrones is so non PC
In Call of Duty the guns are free

It's my hope that no one claims to know
Who is high and who is low
And I wouldn't mind if we would all be kind
But it's not enough just outside
No, we must try to recognize our crimes
